While he was due to stay until June 2027, Pep Guardiola could finally leave his post as Manchester City coach this summer. The Spaniard would then not be the only one to leave. If we still have to reach to know the end of the story, things are much clearer regarding Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese will leave, and it should be in the direction of Atlético de Madrid.
For a long time, the possibility of seeing the Portuguese instead take the plane to FC Barcelona held the rope. And then the Juventus option gained momentum. Problem, the Turin club missed its qualification for the next Champions League. Result, Bernardo Silva is no longer keen at all for a marriage with the “Old Lady”.
According to information from La Gazzetta dello Sportit is now towards Atlético de Madrid that the balance tilts very strongly. The Italian media confirmed that Bernardo Silva does not see himself playing in a simple Europa League with Juve. He also explained that the Colchoneros coach, Diego Simeone, was working to convince the former AS Monaco player.
Bernardo Silva to Atlético?
For his part, Bernardo Silva’s agent, Jorge Mendes, demanded a three-year contract, a staggering salary and “generous commissions” from Juventus for his client to sign there. Without the Champions League, impossible to carry out the operation, according to Gazzetta.
Offered to Real Madrid according to AS, Bernardo Silva was not a validated option for the Merengue. It is therefore with Atlético that he should in all likelihood set down his bags for a new challenge at the age of 31.
